Subsonic Filter The Point Zero series uses a Subsonic Filter to prevent the woofer from reproducing inaudible frequen- cies. Subsonic frequencies, (known as infrasonic frequencies), are signals below the normal human hearing range. The subsonic filter reduces the energy of these frequencies and restrains the woofer from operating outside its optimum linear excursion. This type of electronic control eliminates the mechanical distortion caused by a woofer traveling beyond its XMAX, improves powe

Installation Location The size of the room used for your Home Theater can have a significant effect on the bass response of your system. Since many movies exaggerate explosions, earthquakes, and other low frequency effects, a high performance subwoofer system is required. Your Fosgate Audionics subwoofer is specially designed for these high levels of excursion and linearity. In order to get the most out of your sub- woofer, Fosgate Audionics has documented the differences between typical Stud

Operation Auto Turn-on / Sleep Mode The Fosgate Audionics subwoofers automatically turn on when they sense an input signal. When the signal being fed to the subwoofer is turned off, the subwoofer’s amplifier will turn off and go into “sleep mode.” This feature eliminates the inconvenience of operating a mechanical power switch. Input Sensitivity The Input Sensitivity is used to match the Point Zero series with signal levels from a variety of signal sources. The Input Sensitivity uses a potenti

Operation Phase Control The Phase Control switches allow the Fosgate Audionics subwoofer to be acoustically aligned with other speakers in your system. 0˚, -90˚, -180˚, or -270˚ degrees of phase shift at 80Hz can be selected using DIP switches 2, 3, and 4. For 0˚ degrees of phase shift, leave all three switches in the OFF (up) position. –270˚ degrees of phase shift occurs when switch 2 is selected in the ON (down) position. –180˚ degrees can be achieved by selecting both switches 2 and 3 in th

AC Line The FA10.0/FA12.0/FA15.0 operate from a 115 VAC/60Hz power line. The FA10.0CE/FA12.0CE/FA15.0CE operate from a 230 VAC 50/60Hz power line. Connection is made by a 16 gauge, IEC Type 320, grounded line cord. For safety considerations only a properly grounded (earthed) receptacle should be used. If a grounded circuit is not available, do not break off the ground pin; use the proper adapter plug for a two wire receptacle with the grounding plug suitably connected to earth ground. Important
